BlueOptics ATZ3-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics ATZ3-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP Male/Male is a 3-metre high-speed optical link with QSFP connectors on both ends. It is engineered to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity for server racks, switches and storage systems in data centre and enterprise networks. The cable supports InfiniBand and common fibre optic interconnects where QSFP interfaces are used and is suitable for short-reach, high-throughput connections.

Advantages

This QSFP male-to-male fibre optic cable provides stable signal transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its 3 m length balances reach and signal integrity for dense rack deployments. The QSFP termination ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices that accept QSFP transceivers or ports, enabling straightforward integration into existing infrastructure. The cable construction supports consistent physical performance in standard data centre environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect the QSFP connectors for any visible contamination before installation and ensure both ports support QSFP interfaces. Align each QSFP plug with the corresponding port and insert firmly until it seats; follow the device manufacturer's guidance for any latching mechanism. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, maintaining the recommended bend radius for fibre optic cables. After connection, verify link status on the connected devices and run any required diagnostics or throughput tests to confirm expected performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use, and avoid twisting or kinking the fibre. For optimal reliability in data centre deployments, keep cable lengths appropriate to your topology and use proper cable management to maintain airflow and accessibility.
